"Prosecute ICE" should be a basic position for Democrats at this point.

And meanwhile housing costs have gone completely batshit psychotic in every major city as well and most of us can barely afford to keep roofs over our heads
The average American income is below the poverty line in almost every major city. If you want people to shop, you need to pay them enough money that they can spend some of it. There is an actual limit to how many hours a day a person can work.
If you want people to spend more, pay them more.

A college student complaining about a grade on a paper is not national news. Not even close. The details have minimal import outside the class itself.
Well-funded political activists targeting profs and TAs—in this case because they're trans—with the help of elected state officials? National issue.

The highest calling of journalism isn’t to tell two sides of a story.
The highest calling of journalism is to tell the truth.
And acting like a stenographer is a betrayal of your audience.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

I don’t like this fact.
If you rebooted RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK today with the same temporal margins, it’d be set in the 1980s. Neo-Nazi punks would have their faces melted by the opening of a forbidden arcade cabinet at the KB Toys at your local mall. Indiana Jones would wear a Hawaiian shirt and Chuck Taylor sneakers.
We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

jiminy's animal reviews: The ocellated turkey (𝘔𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘢) is much like the most common wild turkey of North America, except it cosplays as a peacock. It looks like a black light poster of a whiskey bottle. It’s like a Lisa Frank still life of Appalachia. It’s glorious. 🧵
